Please don't. It's hard to think of a more bloated resource hog, far too much for what it is supposed to do, and yet still lacking in basic features in other areas.
I despise Exchange, all the more because I have been so long forced to administer it (since the Exchange 97 days).
Bacteria are effectively immortal; in that they just divide and divide and divide.
That being said, as environmental pressures increase, one would assume that self-replicating units of this nature would soon evolve the ability to gain nutrients from its neighboring proto-life, and you now have a predator-prey situation. Being eaten or being killed by some eternal factor is how bacteria and archaea die. You're applying a concept that mainly applies to multicellular organisms.
I thought most of the Season 1 scripts were Phase 2 scripts that were dusted off, so that seems an odd claim. I agree that the first two seasons were pretty blah in comparison to the middle years, when the show hit its stride. I don't recall anything overtly sexist, save perhaps for Riker's alpha male swagger, but I'm assuming that was because they wanted some sort of James T. Kirk in the show. I do remember Data bedding one of his ship mates, maybe that's what they're talking about.
In reality, Roddenberry wasn't the key writer in Star Trek. He certainly came up with the core ideas, and doubtless had a lot to do with beating the scripts into shape. But probably the person most responsible at least for TOS for the feel of Star Trek was Gene L Coon. Coon invented the Prime Directive, which is a constant through all the series. He also developed characters like Khan, who still stands as one of the best SciFi villains ever, not to mention the Klingons. Coon has never got the recognition he deserved, despite his contributions to Star Trek being just as critical to its success, and to its mythology, as Roddenberry.
Aye, lad. Back in ye olden times, the programmer came prepared with garlic and a stave, lest the vampires attack, or a foiul Roundhead try to steal his code, or a Papist write yonder virus to cause great disruption. Did thou thinkest 'twas ever different?
The days when California could rely on taking other jurisdictions' water are long long gone. It was pretty much an undeclared war when Southern California began redirecting every significant source of fresh water its way eight decades ago, but this time around I think it would get even more violent. California's agriculture industry has been on an unsustainable path for the last hundred years.
Gobbling up natural aquifers that took millions of years to form to grow fucking almonds. I can't imagine a surer sign of the sheer stupidity of humanity than that.
In general Samuel L Jackson could read the ingredients of a breakfast cereal and make it sound cool, but somehow Lucas wrote dialogue so stunningly stilted and awful that even Jackson couldn't find a way to rescue it. But even with the bad dialogue, Christensen is just not a very good actor, and the other roles I've seen him in confirm this.
The point of borrowing/referencing the first three films, to my mind, is likely the end result of Disney's requirement that the new film go out of its way not to alienate the 40-somethings who will be the film's primary audience. They had to repair the damage to the brand that the prequels had done, and to do that they had to be able to show to fans "Look, Star Wars the way you wanted it is back."
Now that the film is likely to make back a fairly significant portion of Disney's $4 billion investment all on its own, I'm sure they'll probably allow newer elements to introduced. There are also the "shared universe" films on top of the main films, which, with different directors, may, for better or for worse, be quite different.
The Empire Strikes Back is still the best of the whole franchise for me, but the new film was as good as A New Hope and not that much lesser a film than Return of the Jedi, and, as you say, hands down beats the prequels.
The conversation in return of the Jedi between Luke and Leia where he reveals they are siblings and their father is Darth Vader heavily implies that Luke was asking about THEIR mother, not about Senator Organa's wife.
Maybe they're afraid that a fan film will have far better cinematography than the two abortions Abram was responsible for. I think a ten year old with a couple of iPhones could produce better special effects than the meth-amphetamine inspired average shot lengths. I swear, the reboots seem designed to send epileptics into seizures.
It's partially broken on my desktop, but completely fucked on Chrome on my Android devices.On my phone, it just keeps redirecting me to the mobile site (which, so far as I can tell, is that shitty v2 interface that no one uses).
It would still require fuel to move materials off the Moon. I still think either orbital smelting, or even better, portable smelting that you can move from asteroid to asteroid, is far better than putting smelting and refining facilities on a gravity well that still requires an escape velocity of 2.38km/s.

Kylie Minogue is hardly the cultural phenomenon that Bowie was.
What the fuck does "seems to run faster" mean?
This is the rousing defense of .NET that Microsoft's supporters resort to now?
If performance is the primary consideration, why the hell would you pick .NET/Momo?
By "scalable" you mean "If I throw enough cores and RAM at it."

Statute may define copyrights to such lengths, but make no mistake, copyrights in mid industrialized countries are now effectively infinite.

So God created life in laboratory experiments designed to demonstrate naturalistic pathways from prebiotic to biotic states?

The best reform would be to reduce IP lawyers to a tenth their current number.
And how did Lenin's alternative work out

And was about 25 minutes into the film, which left over 90 minutes of shit.

The movie earned s billion dollars in twelve days. I wish I could ruin things like that.
No, the whole way he killed Padme off was terrible. How is it Leia could remember her mother when she was about thirty seconds old when she died?
And midichlorians...

For some reason I read that as "manned space missiles".
